Moving Tips from Aero

  • Appliances: Drain, empty, disconnect, unplug, and tape down appliance doors and electrical cords (some may require interior packing of movable parts)
  • TV’s: Disconnect aerials and fold up; tape cords of all electrical appliances and lamps
  • Stereos: Secure arms, turntable covers, cords, and wires
  • Inform movers of: Delicate, aged, and weak pieces; loose legs; broken pieces; and loose veneer
  • Mark boxes containing glass and/or delicate items as “fragile” and, where appropriate “this end up”; also mark them for proper placement in the new home
  • Tape bottoms and tops
  • Organize: Attics, toolsheds, and garages. These areas are very time consuming for the mover (rakes, brooms, shovels – tie or tape together). Mowers and gas cans must be drained. Notify banks and other financial institutions about your move
  • Dressers, Desks, and End Tables: Should be emptied of breakables, pencils, pens, and paper clips and other items that would jam drawers. Clothing, bedding, and linen can be left in drawers
